Our Story
Simply put, we love flowers, and we love giving them to you! We are beyond thrilled to give flowers everyday, to be a part of your celebrations, your intimate moments, and your daily lives. We absolutely love sharing in the positive feelings flowers bring.
While living in England, our founder unearthed her love of all things botanic while moonlighting to help pay the rent. Up at dawn to condition flowers fresh from market, she worked as a florist’s assistant before heading to art school. Stripping foliage, putting stems in water, and bundling blooms into hand-tied bouquets, Rosie found her fine arts career, re-directed by the romance and peace of working with flowers. That presence informs our approach to everything we do at Quince.
Our shop is staffed with passionate floral artists who use flowers and your vision as their raw materials.
Quince Flowers was launched in 1997 and is located in Toronto’s Riverside district. Rosie is the co-chair of the Riverside BIA (Business Improvement Area) board. She lives in the east-end with her two sons, and partner Nina.
